PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE Using this Generator for the First-Time STOP! The following section describes the required steps for preparing this generator for the first use. Failure to correctly perform these steps can damage this generator and/or shorten its life. If still unsure about how to perform any of these steps after reading this section, call 1-866-460-9436 Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time for customer service.
Step 2 - Add Gasoline Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious injury or burns. • Do not fill the fuel tank near a heat, sparks or an open flame. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power tools, etc. • Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always check for fuel spills and immediately wipe them up. Spilled fuel is a fire hazard and causes environmental damage.
Subsequent Use of this Generator For subsequent uses of this generator after the first use, certain steps still must be completed to prepare it for operation. IMPORTANT: Be familiar with the procedures described in the previous section titled “Using the Generator for the First Time” of this manual. If not, review this section now. Step 1 - Verify Oil Level It is important to check the oil level in the engine crankcase before each use to ensure that there is sufficient quantity. 1.
STARTING THE GENERATOR STOP! Before starting this generator, confirm that all the steps in the section titled, “Preparing the Generator for Use,” of this manual have been correctly completed. If unsure about how to perform any of these steps, call 1-866-460-9436, Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time for customer service. Disconnect all electrical loads from this generator before attempting to start. To start this generator: 1. Confirm that there are no electrical devices connected to this generator.
USING THE GENERATOR • USE THIS GENERATOR ONLY OUTDOORS IN NON-CONFINED AREAS. DO NOT SECURE THE GENERATOR WITH A CHAIN OR ROPE, AS THIS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE IN AN EMERGENCY. • Keep at least several feet of clearance on all sides to allow proper ventilation for this generator. After the engine has been running for several minutes, electrical devices may be connected to this generator. AC Usage Electrical devices running on AC current may be connected according to their wattage requirements.
Even though this generator has an overall rated wattage of 2000, do not attempt to draw more than 1400 Watts from the 120 Volt outlet. Draws higher than 1400 Watts will damage this generator and void the warranty. NOTE: While this generator is running, power is available from either the standard 120 Volt outlet or the 12 Volt DC outlet. Both 120 Volts and 12 Volts can be simultaneously drawn from this generator.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR To stop this generator: 1. Turn off all connected electrical devices and then unplug them. 2. Allow this generator to run for several more minutes with no electrical devices connected to help stabilize the temperature of this generator. 3. Set the engine switch to the “OFF” position. 4. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position. Allow this generator to cool down before touching areas that become hot during operation.
To check the oil level: 1. Verify that this generator is shut down and on a level surface. 2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine. 3. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off of the dipstick that is located on the inside of the cap. 4. Insert the dipstick as if replacing the cap and then remove again. There should be oil on the dipstick. If there is no oil on the dipstick, or oil is visible only at the very end of the dipstick, add oil until the engine crankcase is filled. 5.
Air Filter Maintenance Routine maintenance of the air filter helps maintain proper airflow to the carburetor. Occasionally verify that the air filter is free of excessive dirt. The air filter will require more frequent cleaning when operating this generator in extremely dusty areas. To clean the air filter, remove the foam filter element from the generator and wash it in warm water and household dish detergent. Thoroughly rinse and dry.
To drain the gasoline from the carburetor turn the fuel valve to the “off” position while the engine is running. The generator will shut down when all the gasoline in the carburetor has been used. Do not store gasoline for more than 3 months. STORAGE/TRANSPORT PROCEDURES Never place any type of storage cover on this generator while it is still hot. When transporting or storing this generator for extended time: • Allow generator to fully cool before moving it.
